X-Women: The Sinister Virus is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive game featuring the female characters of Marvel's X-Men comic book series. It was due to be released as part of the last batch of first-party Mega Drive games in North America, with a release date planned for late 1996. It would have acted as a spiritual sequel to X-Men 2: Clone Wars.
X-Women would have allowed players to control popular female characters from the X-Men cast, including Storm and Rogue. It was a side-scrolling action game supposedly being developed by Clockwork Tortoise, and was previewed in an early state at E3 1996, with the aim of being released later in the year. X-Women was later mentioned in EGM #89 (December 1996), presumably having missed its original deadline.
The reason for its cancellation are not fully understood - Clockwork Tortoise disbanded in late 1996/early 1997, and focus at Sega was shifting away from the Mega Drive and onto the Sega Saturn. X-Women was considered to be scrapped by early 1997. No prototypes of X-Women have ever been found.
